Question 986240: A sugar cone, shaped like a right circular cone, has a diameter of 2.4 cm and a length of 11.5 cm for the slanted side of the code. What is the volume in cubic feet?
I know the formula for volume = 1/3 pi r^2 X h
I found h = square root of (s^2-r^2) and came up with 11.43 cm
I plugged that into the formula for volume and got 17.22 cm^3
I don't know how to convert that to cubic feet.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 inch = 2.54 cm
12 inches = 1 foot

Just to recheck your cone length part,
h for the length,
r%5E2%2Bh%5E2=11.5%5E2
h%5E2=11.5%5E2-r%5E2
h=sqrt%2811.5%5E2-1.2%5E2%29
h=11.4372, good value for your result.

Be sure to convert your volume for ALL THREE DIMENSIONS.
V for volume,
